Just got done putting new fender flares on it, thanks to LonestarROB. Pulled the old flares off and applied RusFree under coating from the inside lip of the wheel well out. There was a few bubbles around some of the mounting holes for the factory flares and some paint chipping off.
Figured the sooner I got them on I'll quit dragging my feet and get some wheels and tires to make use of them














Here's a comparison of the new vs old.

 

Flares look great Matt. Can't wait to see what wheel combo you go with.

 

Thank you! It's coming together, slowly but surely.

I'm still pretty much set on the XD Monster's 778's in Matte Black with +18 offset and 295/70/18 Nitto Trail Grapplers, but as I said before I'm open to suggestions. Also going to get Bilstein 5100's so I can get rid of the leveling kit. Then I'll probably have to regear it........I hope this truck lasts another 50+ years

 

Holy $h*t! Thats alot of stuff! I know the eagerness is on high. You'll get there.

 

I just won't be happy until it's "done", which we all know is never. I'd also like to get the '12 FX4 badges that are already black and red to replace mine. I think they'd look much better.

Thankfully the weather is getting nice now so my busy time of year is about here and money won't be as tight so within the next couple month's some mods will get done.

 

They look GREAT, Matt! Glad you like the flares. Btw, I never noticed how similar our trucks look .

 

Thanks! I looked at some pics of your truck and noticed they were pretty much identical. That's why I originally PM'd you about the flares

 

Looking good!

 

Nice!

 

Truck is looking Great!


I used to drink Pepsi at times .... but now .... if I open one, it's a Coke Zero.

 

Wow -- never realized there were so many holes for the factory flares......

 

Lookin good Matt!

 

Thanks everyone.

I know, they didn't want them going anywhere. If you happen to not like the flares you're pretty much SOL.

 

Nice looking truck. Wish mine still looked that good!

 

New flares look really good
